Hard Currency |
| Industrialists, the military, peasants are waiting at the airport CHORUS: |
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming |
| With a great silver bird she’s coming |
| She’s coming, she’s coming, she’s coming |
| With a great silver bird she’s coming |
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha |
| Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha |
| Martha: When I was poor I hated it |
| Always the wolf at the door |
| Now that I’m rich |
| I’m so happy |
| I’ll never be poor anymore |
| I’ll never be poor anymore |
| Chorus: Heavy industry |
| A higher standard of living |
| Martha: When I was a kid grandma told me |
| Girl, now you listen to me |
| Without any money you’re nothing |
| Without money you’ll never be free |
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha |
| You might be pretty, forget it, forget it |
| You might be smart but so what |
| If you don’t have plenty of money |
| It’s plenty of nothing you’ve got |
| Heavy industry |
| A higher standard of living |
| Hard currency |
| Martha: I had a friend |
| I betrayed that friend |
| Am I an animal or what? |
| Does not a human heart beat within my breast |
| Maybe not! |
| Chorus: Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha, Martha |
| Martha (speaking to the audience): Goodbye, goodbye everyone! |
| We won’t see each |
| other ever again. |
| But in my heart, I’ll always be an |
| American. |
| (Some angry grumbling) A north american. |
| Goodbye and give my regards |
| to broadway! |
